Gröninger Fass, Historic giant wine barrel at Jagdschloss Spiegelsberge, Halberstadt, Germany.
The Groninger Fass measures 9.4 meters in length and 6 meters in diameter, with a capacity of 144,000 liters stored in the castle cellar.
Duke Heinrich Julius of Brunswick-Luneburg commissioned cooper Michael Werner from Landau to construct this massive barrel in 1594 for 6,000 talers.
The barrel emerged from a competition between German nobles in the 16th century who built enormous wine vessels to display their wealth and status.
Visitors can view the barrel during guided tours of Jagdschloss Spiegelsberge, with advance reservations required for group visits.
The barrel consists of 92 oak staves and held the Guinness World Record for oldest giant wine barrel until 2019.
